Fresh from doing evenings in New York (right after Howard Stern)at 66 W-NNNNNNNNNN-B-C in 1982, Big Ron starts 1983 at 102.7 KIIS-FM, and a part of the winning team thrusting KIIS-FM at year later to a 10-share rating (a record for an FM station.)
@jackwebb714 Wasn't this the same studio Dees worked in? I've been in that studio myself, on the 11th floor of what was at that time the First Interstate Bldg. in Hollywood.
Notice no obnoxious music beds behind him, no 12 in a row, no over-produced sweepers. Easy to listen to audio that had punch. Aaah yes the way it WAS.
Sennheiser 421? For on-air? Really? Never seen that...
Love the pop screen.
This is a really cool clip, BTW; thanks.

A lot of recurrents by 1983 at KIIS-FM. However, excellent show from Big Ron O'Brien.
